    • One steal, two RBI in loss
      Garcia went 2-for-5 with two RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Tigers.

      Advice: Garcia struggled in the middle of April, but he's now logged four multi-hit efforts over his last five games. He's added three steals and five RBI in that span while continuing to sit atop the Royals' order. The third baseman is slashing .222/.277/.380 with four home runs, seven steals, 20 RBI and 13 runs scored over 27 contests this season. Rotowire.com 42 minutes ago

    • Not starting Sunday
      Arozarena is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

      Advice: Arozarena started the previous nine games but will receive a breather after he went 4-for-34 with 13 strikeouts during that span. Harold Ramirez will shift to left field while Austin Shenton starts at designated hitter. Rotowire.com Today, 9:13 am
       
    • Back in action Sunday
      Diaz (finger) is starting at first base and batting leadoff Sunday against the White Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

      Advice: The 32-year-old sat out Saturday after being hit by a pitch in the left pinky finger Friday, but he'll rejoin the starting nine after missing just one game. Diaz is hitting .324 in his past nine contests, though he's slugging just .378 during that stretch and has not hit a home run since Opening Day. Rotowire.com Today, 9:04 am

    • Moves to bench Sunday
      Garcia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

      Advice: With southpaw Ryan Weathers on the hill for Miami, the lefty-hitting Garcia will hit the bench for the first time since April 14 while Ildemaro Vargas steps in at second base. While manning the keystone for each of the last 11 games, Garcia went 11-for-42 (.262 average) with one home run, four stolen bases, five RBI and one run. Rotowire.com Today, 9:02 am
       
    • Randy Arozarena out Sunday against White Sox
      Randy Arozarena is not in the lineup Sunday against the White Sox.

      Advice: Arozarena will get a day of rest for the finale Sunday. The outfielder has been atrocious to open the 2024 season with a .154 average and .488 OPS over a not-so-small sample of 104 at-bats. Rotoworld Today, 9:00 am
       
    • Yandy Diaz returns to lineup from hand injury
      Yandy Diaz is leading off and playing first base against the White Sox on Sunday.

      Advice: Diaz was held out of the lineup for Saturday’s contest after he plunked in the hand Friday by a 99 mph pitch from Michael Kopech. Austin Shenton will move back to the designated hitter spot with Diaz back in action for Sunday’s affair. Rotoworld Today, 8:45 am

    • Career-high 12 strikeouts
      Kirby (3-2) earned the win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday, hurling seven shutout innings while allowing two hits and two walks. He struck out 12.

      Advice: Kirby wasn't playing around Saturday, fanning six of the first eight batters he faced en route to recording a career-high 12 strikeouts on the night. The right-hander has now hurled 12 shutout innings over his last two starts while Saturday also marked the second time this season in which he's allowed only two hits. Kirby carries a 30:2 K:BB through five starts this month and has won his last two decisions. Rotowire.com Today, 7:01 am
       
    • George Kirby strikes out career-high 12 vs. D-backs
      George Kirby recorded a career-high 12 strikeouts over seven shutout innings on Saturday in a win over the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Kirby authored arguably the most dominant performance of his career in this one, generating an eye-popping 23 swinging strikes -- including a staggering 18 whiffs on his four-seam fastball alone -- and finished with an elite 39 percent CSW. His fastball velocity was up 1.2 mph in this one from earlier this year to 96.4 mph and he gave up only three batted balls with an exit velocity over 91 mph over seven nearly-flawless frames. The 26-year-old righty has clearly shaken off a couple rough outings to open the year and has allowed just two runs over 18 innings in his last three starts since April 15. He’ll carry a respectable 4.18 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 38/4 K/BB ratio across 32 2/3 innings (six starts) into a challenging road tilt on Friday against the division-rival Astros.

    • Maikel Garcia plates two, steals base in loss
      Maikel Garcia went 2-for-5 with a pair of RBI and a stolen base as the Royals fell to the Tigers on Saturday evening in Motown.

      Advice: Garcia led off the game with a single off of Casey Mize and came around to score the game’s first run on an RBI ground ball off the bat of Vinnie Pasquantino. He then drove in a run with an RBI single in the second inning and swiped second base before being stranded there. The 24-year-old third baseman also plated a run with a ground ball in the ninth inning. With his two-hit attack, he’s now hitting .222/.277/.380 with four homers, 20 RBI and seven stolen bases on the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:11 pm
